Sewing on Try-its

I learned why my mom hated me earning try-its back in the day.  Sewing them on is a PITA.  I can't tell you how many times I stabbed my finger last night.  And in a 40 minute time frame I got a whole whopping 3 patches and 4 numbers sewn on.  (I had to start from scratch as I removed all her patches off of her sash that were ironed on and put them on the vest.)  PS..iron on patches are not a guarantee.  I was easily able to peel off most on her sash and she had lost a number so I had to re-buy it and thus the sewing of the badges from here on out.

The neat thing was I discovered another Council's own for the Common Wealth when I visited the store.  It is called Umoja.  It is about African American Heritage.  They also had Behind the Scenes, Horses are Fun, and Art of Illusion.

Jon and I decided yesterday that we are going to do some of the "tour" badges with Seasan and his sister Lauren when we go to Texas for Christmas.  Laredo is number one on the list and then probably one of the other local cities.  We will also be aiming for the San Antonio Walking Tour and Missions.  (Some how a family visit trip is turning into a Girl Scout badge trip..lol!)
